COYLE--Thomas
COYLE, born in Carnane, Civil Parish
Donoghmore, Barony Raphoe,
Castlefinn, Donegal Ireland around 1862 , emigrated to Boston at the age of 20. He
possibly traveled with his maternal cousins Patrick and Margaret DUGAN on
June 23, 1886. Four years later, he married Catherine Scanlon (my
great-grandmother). Thomas drove a brewery truck for a living. Thomas died
as a result of an infected finger in 1914.

*******************

Patrick DONAHOE, born in
Mallow, Cork, Ireland (1828), and his wife, Mary PARKER,
also born in Mallow, Cork, Ireland (est. 1831) emigrated to Boston seperately before 1856. Upon their marriage they
initially moved in with their paternal uncle Maurice Healey. Patrick and
Mary had 10 children. Patrick took care of his large family by making
chairs. Patrick died of pneumonia on New Years
day in 1892. His wife Mary died 13 years later of kidney failure.

Patricks parents were identified as JohnDonahoe and Johanna Healey. Most of his siblings
immigrated throughout the 1800's to Boston. Edmund, Thomas,
Michael, Ellen, and William. Patrick's mother was the eldest daughter of
Thomas Healy and Ellen Nagle.
She had 3 brothers who had immigrated to Boston in the 1820's, Daniel, John,
and Maurice Healy. Johanna had at least one sister, Bridget. It is not known if
Bridget or Johanna immigrated to Boston, but many of their children did.

Mary Parkers parents
were William PARKER and Catherine SINGLETON. To date I have been
able to identify 2 sisters, Catherine (b. 1821) and Ellen (est. 1840). The
remaining Parker family was said to immigrate to Canada. I have been able to
locate a brother William Parker who lived in Pembroke Ontario then moved to
Thunder Bay, Ontario. This line still exists in Thunder Bay.

FALLON - my
PATERNAL LINE - father's -> father -> mother -> father

FALLON--James
FALLON, born in Roscommon Ireland around 1836. He and his
family emigrated to Boston between 1870 and 1888
with his family joining him through the years. James' wife Margaret SCOTT
was the last to join him in 1888 with their youngest daughter, Margaret.
James was naturalized on November 27 1877 in US District Court of
Massachusetts. James occupation was a stone layer. James die November 5, 1905.

James Fallon purchased a grave in Calvalry Cemetery for a woman who may be his sister,
Catherine Fallon Ward Donnelly. Her death certificate identifies her parents as
Lawrence Fallon and Mary Kilroy. There are 2 other Kilroy's buried with Catherine.

Margaret Scott was
the daughter of Richard SCOTT and Margaret TUREY or FUREY of Roscommon Ireland.

·Collateral surnames include DOWD, KILROY, SCOTT, FUREY

James
FALLON (est. 1836 - 1905)

Margaret
SCOTT - wife - (est. 1836 - 1903)

Mary
A. Fallon married Danile F TULLISH - (1856
-1950)

John
FALLON (1858 - 1952) - died without issue - naturalized in 1905 St.
Louis.

Catherine
Fallon (1864-1936) - maiden

James
Fallon (1869 - 1935) - died without issue

Margaret
Fallon married Joseph DOWD (1873 -1929)

James Fallon married Margaret
Scott in Ireland, on September 17 1855 in the Knockcroghery
Roman Catholic Parish of Roscommon Ireland. Their witnesses were Michael
Boland and Belinda Fannon. Neither of their parents names or their place of birth are listed on
their marriage record. James and Margaret had at least 5 children (Mary,
John, Catherine, James, and Margaret). Each one of their children's birth
records were found in Ireland. Checking the various census,
it appears the Fallon family arrived to the US in stages. According to the
census James came over in 1870, but it is more realistic he did not arrive
until after 1873, when his youngest child was born. Mary (with possibly
her brother John) arrived in 1878. Finally, Margaret and her youngest
daughter Margaret arrived in 1888. It's not clear when James or Catherine
arrived. James Fallon was naturalized on November 27 1877 in US District
Court of Massachusetts. It lists his place of birth as County Roscommon,
Ireland. James occupation in 1900 was listed as a stone layer.

From a vital statistical
perspective, they located the marriage record and the birth records of all
5 of James Fallon and Margaret's children. On all 6 records, this family
from 1855 to 1873 belonged to the Knockcroghery
Roman Catholic Parish. The records of the parish of Knockcroghery
begin in 1841, a little to
late to check for baptismal records of James Fallon or Margaret Scott. In
the early years, the townland address was not
specified, but from 1869-1873, it was indicated that they lived in Carnamart, Roscommon, Ireland. Also listed on these
records were the sponsors of the children and bride and groom. It is
interesting to note, that none of these sponsors were either FALLON or
SCOTT. There were 2 listed by the surname FURY and 2 by the name KENNEDY.
Could these be relatives? Could Margaret Scott's mother's maiden name be
FURY instead of TUREY/TURY as is listed on her death certificate?

*******************

John MANNING, born in Ireland
(possibly CORK or Kerry) (1828), and his wife, Ellen COHANE?, also
born in Ireland (est. 1831) children emigrated to Boston about
1870. Based on the birth and marriage records of their children, I believe
they immigrated to England then to Fredericton New Brunswick and finally
down to Boston, Massachusetts. John and Ellen had at least 5 children.

Their children's death records list 2 different
surnames for their mother. At this time, I am not sure which, if either is
correct. COHANE or QUARM.

Jerimiah - was a redhead according to his granddaughter MargertDonahoe Cotter.

*******************

Mary Parker,
was Patrick Donahoe's wife, and the author's
great-great grandmother. Little is known about the Parker family at
this time. A copy of Mary's parents wedding certificate was found in
Mallow, Cork. William Parker (a Roman Catholic) married Catherine
Singleton on January 21, 1821. Timothy Singleton and Michael Parker are
listed as witnesses. It does not state the parents
names of either the bride or the groom. This record disputes a claim
which was passed down stating that William was a Baptist minister.

Although it is believed that Mary had a
number of siblings which migrated to Boston, the only one found with certainty
was her younger sister Ellen. Mary and Ellen shared the same residence
the last years of Mary's life. It is not known when Ellen moved to Boston, but
based on her brother's letter she was there well before 1898. Ellen is
also buried in the Donahoe family plot.

Catherine
Parker, William and Catherine's eldest daughter's, birth record was found in
Ireland. It listed her date of birth as October 25, 1821 from Mallow
Parish. Her godparents were Denis Sullivan and Johanna Singleton.
Catherine was godmother to Mary's eldest daughter Johanna in 1856 in
Boston. Based on her brother's letter, Catherine predeceased William.

Bernard Donahoe, Joseph Patrick Donahoe's
grandson has a copy of the letter from Mary's
brother William dated 1898. The letter was written from Pembroke, Ontario
Canada to his sister Ellen. William was a farmer in Canada, residing
there at least from 1862, his marriage, until his death 6 months after his
sister Ellen, in 1910.

Apparently,
William PARKER arrived in Renfrew county, Ontario, in
the early 1860s. At the time of the 1871 census, William and his family
were residing in Alice (or Fraser) township, Renfrew county.
In the next two enumeration (1881 & 1891), the family was living in Petawawa township, Renfrew county. They lived in Petawawa when Mrs. William PARKER passed away. By
1910, the widowed William PARKER had gone to visit some of his adult children
who had recently moved to Thunder Bay (Fort William and Port Arthur).
Having died in Fort William, William's remains were brought home to the
cathedral cemetery in Pembroke.

Currently trying to locate the
descendants of William Parker and Ellen Eagan in Pembroke and Thunder Bay,
Ontario Canada.

*******************

John SCANLON, born in Sligo,Ireland(est. 1830's), and his
wife, Mary SPELMAN, also born in Sligo,
Ireland (est. 1838) emigrated to Boston about 1885 with their
children. I was only able to locate Mary and their children in Boston.
Therefore, John may have perished during the journey, or his death may have
sparked the journey to America.

I believe they met up with family who had
immigrated earlier, specifically the SPELMAN clan. Mary and her children lived
with a Bridget Spelman until her dath
in 1905. Her will listed Mary Spelman's children as
her neices and nephews. The SPELMAN names shows again
checking out baptismal records of Mary SPELMAN SCANLON's grandchildren.

Collateral surnames in this
line are GILMARTIN, KELIHER, MAY, SPELMAN,

John
Scanlon (died before 1885)

Mary Spelman (1838 - 1899)

Thomas
SCANLON (1861 - 1912)

Patrick
Scanlon (1862-1926) - married Catherine May and moved to Worcester.

·My
TULLIS Line - MY Paternal Line - father -> father -> father ->
father

John TULLIS, born in Roscommon,Ireland(est. 1830's), and his
wife, Mary MCGANN, also born in Roscommon, Ireland (est. 1838)
emigrated to United States about 1870. I was unable to locate John. He may
have perished during the journey, or his death may have sparked the
journey to America. Mary and her children entered the United States in New
York. It was there I suspect that Mary's daughter, Hannah, met her husband
Cornelius O'Leary and married. The O'Leary's and the Tullis'
moved to Providence Rhode Island and then finally to Boston,
Massachusetts. Although census records indicate that both Cornelius
O'Leary and his brother-in-law, Daniel Toolis
were naturalized, I was unable to ever find a natualization
record. I checked NY,RI,MA,CT,NH,VT.

Collateral surnames in this
line are MCGANN,O'LEARY,TOULISH,THULISH, SKEFFINGTON, DONOGHOE, KEOUGH,
GRADY, WHOLEY

PageAccording to Ellis Island, someone
registered a Catherine TOOLIS from Ireland who immigrated to NY. As the
surname is very unusual, and most other individuals with this surname were
not from Ireland, it would be nice to locate the individual who registered
this name and compare notes.

I would like to locate Hannah
TOOLIS and Cornelius O'Leary's marriage record. I believe they were
married in 1875 in New York, although checking NY records they didn't retain
records that far back.

I also have found a Patrick and
Brigit Tullis living in NYC in 1900. Both
of these individuals claim Irish heritage. As there were so few
individuals with this surname from Ireland, it is worth investigating to
determine if there was a connection.

I am also investigating what
the Roscommon Heritage Center can come up with, given the unusal surname.
